I only have the Nighlife expansion pack. Is the harderjobs hack compatible?
DrKeith:
Oh, feeling bad about possibly pirating it? I downloaded the Nightlife expansion pack from my university network, so it's safe to say that I don't harbour any unnecessary feelings of guilt. :)
The reason I don't have the OFB, is because it is not available on the network in question! So I'll fork out the R175, and feel like a law obeying citizen.
It'll be worth it, methinks. Will be fun renting out apartments and appointing a landlord. The childsupport hack is also pretty (dare I say it?) awesome, even if it is located at modthesims2.com (a site I happen to like quite a bit).
Will you ostracize me based on the above paragraph? :D
Lyra:
What's to stop you getting it from somewhere else? There are loads of torrent sites out there.
Here, I'll help you out. Toorgle is Google for torrents.
There. No excuse now.

Well guys, I found a solution for my problem. I've managed to talk my parents and my brother into jointly getting me the OFB expansion as a Christmas gift. We're not big on Christmas at all, and only give presents (on most years, anyway), as a family nicety, so no one is expected to blow huge amounts of cash.
So, problem solved! Middle-class Simmies, here I come ...
As an aside, what did you find the most gratifying about OFB? I've heard Pescado refer to 'subhoods'; what would that mean? And is it feasible to run apartments on lots, or is the setup of even this expansion pack still not very conducive to this?
OFB so far sounds like the most interesting EP, followed by Seasons. I'll pick up Seasons some other time. I also like the chemistry mechanism in Nightlife - it makes the hookups and relationships less arbitrary. I care little for the Downtown lot, though. Really, who does? An occasional trip is okay-ish, but other than that, I'm very blase about exiting my Sims' homes. For that very reason, the concept of BV bores me to no end. I heard Pets was on the whole a disappointment, but I might get that one some time, as I've never played with non-Sims in the game, in the original and Sims 2.
jsalemi:
Subhoods are additional terrains you can add to your main hood. Similar to the Downtown that comes with NL, but they act like regular 'hoods' in that they don't add any more townies. So you could spread your sims out, so to speak.
And no, no real way to run apartments yet. The closest is the hotels in Bon Voyage, but they're limited to vacation sub-hoods, and you can't own them.
